A facility is full of signals.
A cart parked in the wrong place. A liner tied to the side of a tilt truck. A recycling station that confuses users.
For the product experts at Rubbermaid Commercial Products, those small details are what drives the innovation behind the brand.
SPR went to RCP headquarters to meet with Senior Brand Managers Baylee Whitley, Tera Kyaw and Megan Tinch. These product experts shared the latest innovations across material handling, refuse and commercial cleaning along with practical tips for uncovering more opportunities throughout the facility.
Watch How the Work Gets Done
For Baylee Whitley, Senior Brand Manager of Material Handling and Washroom, the best insights often come from watching everyday routines.
“People tend to accept things that they don’t realize are a problem.”
That thinking shows up in RCP’s updated BRUTE tilt truck and high-security cleaning cart. Features like added storage, ergonomic handles, QuickClip tool management, quieter components and reinforced locks all come from looking at how products are actually used.
For distributors, the lesson is simple: don’t just ask what product a customer uses. Ask what slows the job down.
Think Beyond the Trash Can
Tera Kyaw, Senior Brand Manager for Refuse, sees waste collection as a complete system.
“Trash cans have really evolved from being just a simple bin to being an operational tool.”
Different facilities have different needs. Healthcare may prioritize hands-free disposal and cleanability. Education may focus more on durability and budget. High-traffic facilities may need capacity, easier servicing and clearer recycling cues.
RCP’s refreshed Ranger and Fulfill lines reflect that broader view, with new recycling configurations, updated visual cues and features designed to make servicing easier.
The opportunity is bigger than the container. It’s an opportunity to understand how waste moves through a facility and offer a complete solution for your customers.
Look at Every Surface
Commercial cleaning offers the same kind of hidden opportunity.
Megan Tinch, Senior Brand Manager of Commercial Cleaning, pointed to growing pressure around cleaning outcomes, sustainability, ROI and labor.
One example: glass.
“Glass cleaning is more than windows.”
Conference rooms, doors, staircases, partitions and other interior surfaces all create everyday cleaning needs.
RCP’s expanded glass-cleaning system includes microfiber washers, squeegees, detailing cloths, scrapers and interchangeable handles designed to cover multiple applications throughout the facility.
See More. Solve More.
Across material handling, refuse and cleaning, the message is consistent:
Pay attention to the work around the product.
That is where distributors can uncover new needs, bring more value to the conversation, and sell more of the facility.
SPR helps make those conversations easier by connecting distributors with trusted manufacturers, category expertise, training and the product breadth needed to compete across JanSan.
